Alstroemeria plant named &#34;stabecor&#34;

ABSTRACT

A new and distinct Alstroemeria plant variety producing flowers of good quality and attractive coloration.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of Alstroemeria which is a sport of the variety ‘Stabec’ discovered in a controlled planting. The varietal denomination of the new variety is ‘Stabecor’.

[0002] The first act of asexual reproduction of ‘Stabecor’ was in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands, by propagation by dividing the rhizomes. Asexual reproduction by dividing rhizomes through successive generations in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands, has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for ‘Stabecor’ are firmly fixed and retained through successive generations.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0003] The new variety of Alstroemeria, ‘Stabecor’, produces large flowers of good quality.

COMPARISON WITH PARENT

[0004] The new variety produces flowers of different color than its parent.

DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATION

[0005] The new variety of Alstroemeria hybrid is illustrated in the accompanying illustration, which shows typical flower characteristics, with colors being as nearly true as is possible for illustrations of this type.
